Yes, it’s your RESPONSIBILITY to stop racism when you hear it, see it happening. This is part and parcel of “we have to save ourselves, no one is coming to save us."

TPSA pay phone somewhere in Warsaw. August 2014.

So much has changed in a decade. The 'TP' brand is no more. Phone booths are no more. Smartphones have more than 1 GB RAM unlike my Galaxy S III at that time. We barely even use 'phone' feature in our smart devices at all.

Long night so far.

A call from my sister just after midnight that she’d taken mum to the hospital.

Been holding bedside vigil while sister goes home and gets some sleep. Doctors running tests and whatnot. Morphine for the pain. Machines that go “bing”.

It’s about 4:30am and mum’s snoring with a plethora of tubes and wires.

Eyes are heavy. Chair is uncomfortable. The nurses showed me where I could make a cup of coffee for myself.

Going to the #Philippines because of a Filipino you want to #date and be in a #relationship with?

Here are some dating tips, nothing grand, but can be useful.

1. Know how to say “I love you” in the #Filipino language because we have two for romantic relationships.

• “Mahal kita” = This is your “I love you” in English. It can be used romantically or for family and relatives.

• mahal = ma (as in “mama”) + hal (as in ha + L) which means “love”
• kita = ki (as in ‘ki’ in “kit”) + ta (as in ‘ta’ in “tank”) which means “you”

• “Iniibig kita” = This can be translated into English as “I deeply love you” or “I deeply desire you” or both; and should only be used romantically. You could say it is a poetic way of saying “I love you”, however, it is more than that.

• iniibig = i-ni-i-big (i = as in the sound of saying the letter “e” = iihh) which means “[deeply] love”

2. Understand what “mutual understanding” or “m.u.” is.

It's actually simple. “Mutual understanding” is that stage wherein two people are already comfortable with each other, but are still not officially dating. Usually, they do not know they like each other; however, there are those who choose it because they are not sure yet (especially permission from parents).

If the person you like decides to be in an M.U. relationship, don't take it negatively. It is a sign that they are considering dating you, just that, there are still things they need to settle on their end. Give them some time.

3. You need to clarify your relationship.

Never assume that you are dating. I've seen “couples” who never made it clear and later was shocked the other partner finally have a “boyfriend” or “girlfriend”. The surprised party felt “cheated” but in reality, no one cheated, they were never dating in the first place!

It is important to make your relationship clear.

• Are you dating exclusively? “Exclusively”, meaning, there are no one else both parties are dating.
• Or, are you in an “open relationship”? An “open relationship” is a relationship wherein you allow each other to have other dates.
• Are you actually dating, M.U., or just friends?
• Are you “officially” dating? “Officially”, meaning, both of your parents know (regardless if they agreed to it or not).

4. “PDA” or “Public Display of Affection”

This is publicly holding hands, hugging, kissing (cheeks, lips), being overly sweet with each other.

Filipinos are generally fine with it. If you don't like it, a Filipino date might misinterpret it as you not being proud of them. Thus, if it is not in your culture to show PDA, then make it clear with the Filipino you are dating, to avoid misunderstandings.

There are also some Filipinos who are not into PDA, so, you need to be open about it. And limits.

5. You are not just dating one person, you are dating the entire family.

Filipinos are family-centric. And when it comes to Filipino, be sure to treat their families well.

This is a good thing. If your partner is telling you what to do, it means they really want to date you.

---

That's just 5 when it comes to dating. Marriage proposal is a whole different matter. We have our own form “dowry”, although less practised today, it is still good to know, especially if the Filipino you want to marry is traditional. (They may not tell you anything because you're a foreigner, but deep inside they're expecting it.)

However, that's a discussion for another day.

It's surprising, but fantastic, to see a mainstream media outlet in 2024 recommending wearing N95 masks, and guiding consumers on where to purchase them.

This is the kind of content we need to normalize the wearing of masks in the long-term!

My mom has dementia. She loves social media. It's her way to connect to those she loves in a safe way.

We monitor her usage and interactions with others. At some point, we will need more control.

I refuse to take this joy away, so I'm always on the lookout for tools with better moderation and safeguards.

Facebook has "teenage supervision" which fits the bill, but stupidly they restrict supervision to people 13-17 years old.

I'm going to find a solution, even if I have to build it myself.
